Hey Yashmi! I just finished reading your essay on the role of AI in creativity, and it definitely got me thinking. I have to admit, I see where you're coming from when you mentioned that AI could potentially cheapen art and creativity. But, here's where I see things a little differently.

You mentioned that AI could take over the more mundane tasks and free up human creators to tackle deeper, more profound subjects. I totally agree with that. Why spend hours on end doing repetitive stuff when AI can handle it more efficiently? It just makes sense to let AI do its thing and allow us humans to focus on the juicy, thought-provoking content.

Now, when it comes to AI-generated art, I think there's room for it to shine. While AI may not replicate the human experience and all the rich emotions that come with it, it can definitely offer a unique perspective. AI can produce pieces that may not have been conceived by human minds, and that's pretty cool in itself. Sure, it might lack that raw human emotion, but it fills the creative sphere with something different and exciting.

All in all, your take on AI and creativity got my wheels turning, and I appreciate the lively discussion. Keep on questioning and exploring, Yashmi

Great essay. I agree that it opens up a lot of opportunity to differentiate your creativity from that of the run of the mill content creagtors.

I too explored whether AI could be creative a couple months ago. What I found, that suprised me, was just how uncreative many humans are!
